So I built a natural ant tank in a 10 gallon fish tank
Current ants are
Pogonomyrmex occidentalis
Teteramorum immigrans
The Teteramorum immigrans
Nesting in some of the dirt
Also made a dirt cup for a pogonomyrmex occidentalis queen

I’d definitely take out one of the colonies. Both these species grow very large and are very aggressive, and one of the colonies WILL be killed.
